She thought her father left her. She never imagined he'd left her a second chance.
When literary agent Valerie Hastings receives word that her estranged father has died, she expects nothing more than a signature and a long-forgotten inheritance. Instead, she finds herself in Willow Peaks, standing inside the bookstore he left behind-and facing a past she thought she'd buried twenty years ago. The bookstore is struggling. The bank is threatening foreclosure. And Val has no idea what she's supposed to do with a building, a town full of strangers, and the memories of a father she barely remembers. Then a stray dog named Prodigal shows up at her door.
As Val begins untangling her father's affairs, she discovers that the man she remembers walking away from her as a child may not be the man everyone in Willow Peaks knew. With the help of new friends, an unexpected community, and a bookstore full of stories, Val finds herself fighting to save the legacy her father left behind. But saving the bookstore may be the easy part. Because some stories don't end when someone walks away.
Some stories wait years for a second chance.
And Val is about to discover that saying goodbye once doesn't always mean the story is over.
